sence to his official superiors. He appeared
as if recovering from the effects of some
dangerous drug.
The Michigan Ice Gorge.
LYONS (Mich.), February 14th.-The ice
gorge is frozen solid to depth of from
five to ten feet. The river is still flowing
through Main street, and the merchants
are building trestle works to their stores,
only to find their goods frozen in ice. The
cold weather has settled the water nearly
foot, but has made work nearly impossible.
Lyons (Mich.), February 24th.-The
whole country from Lyons to Muir pre-
sents an Arctic panorama of desolation.
Many merchants have been unable to visit
their stores since Thursday morning, and
several who attempted it were swept down
by the current and narrowly escaped death.
All merchants lose heavily. All manu-
featuring establishments are crippled, and
many buildings ruined The ice gorge
shows no signs of breaking, extending as a
solid glacier for five miles, and fifteen or
| twenty feet thick. The loss of property is
enormous, and will doubtless reach $780,
600. The Holly Water Works building
stands in the midst of the flood, and has
| been literally ground to pieces.
will Not Take Back the Strikers.
New YORK, February 14th.-Positive
| orders to their dock agents by many of the
railroad companies prohibited any of the
| strikers being taken back under any Cir
cumstances. Agent Bode, of the Pennsyl
yania road, says that he has refused the
application of deputation from the old
men for their reinstatement. II will stand
by those who have stood by me-" he said,
land not one of the present hands who does
good work will be discharged" Agent Pep
per, of the Jersey Southern road, also has
positive orders to take back no strikers.
But little Inconvenience, he says, has been
caused to his company by the strike. AT
the New Jersey Central pier Lehigh Val
ley Railroad pier, and Anchor Line pier,
many of the old hands are working among
| the Italians, and freight is being moved
rapidly. Gangs of strikers are going about
| from pier to pier in search OF work.
Has Become Law.
| WASHINGTON, February 14th.-The Pres
ident has allowed the Act appropriating
$4,000 year to provide arms and equip
ments for the militia, to become law
without his signature, the constitutional
| limitation of ten days within which he
| should have acted on the bill expiring on
Saturday. His failure to sign the bill is re-
garded as an oversight, as he was not
known to object to any OF its provisions.

ert, of Congregation Thabath Chelsea, New
York city, was married in this city to-day
